Neverwinter Nights 2 Hints
Character Creation Tips
1 of 5: If you're not sure what class of character you want when you start playing the game, choose a fighter or barbarian. They're much easier to play through the game with than the other classes, especially for people who aren't very experienced in playing CRPGs with thieves and magic-users.
2 of 5: When allocating your created character's ability score points (also known as stats), keep in mind that you'll get one more point to allocate when you reach levels 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20, and that you'll be finding lots of equipment during the game that will boost ability scores (as well as temporary bonuses from spells and potions). This means that you don't have to put all of your points in your character's one most important stat, and you should probably boost up some other stats a little.
3 of 5: Another important stat fact is that your Intelligence modifier is added to the number of skill points you get every time you level up. This makes an Intelligence of at least 12 very useful for just about every character class, including barbarian! By that, I mean a "natural" Intelligence of at least 12 -- stat bonuses you have from equipment and potions don't count for anything during the level-up process. (Also note that the advanced combat feats Disarm, Improved Disarm, and Improved Parry require an Intelligence of at least 13.)
4 of 5: On a related note, you may not think much of the Dexterity stat for fighter-type characters, but if you ever want to get the two-weapon fighting feats, your Dexterity has to be at least 13 to begin with. Further two-weapon fighting feats require greater amounts of Dexterity. (See the "Feats" part of the "Player's Handbook" section of the manual to find out the requirements for any feats you're interested in eventually getting.)
5 of 5: When it's time to choose your character's special background feat, you should always choose Farmer just because it'll get you a very valuable Archer's Belt at the beginning of Act I, Part 2.
